If you love your rustic barn home, use your barn wood to cover the walls. You can use the barn board in the same way as you do plank paneling or wainscoting to cover a wall. Child boards will require nails instead of glue to attach them to the wall, but the boards add both decor and a little extra insulation against winter and summer weather. In most cases you will only want to cover a wall or two of a room with barn boards. An entire room covered in barn board may be too dark.
